  • Our take on the Craftsman CMCE520B

    The Craftsman CMCE520B is a cordless tire inflator that runs on the brand's 20V Max battery. It weighs under 5 lb and measures about 12 by 7 by 6 inches, so it fits in a trunk or a shelf. It suits drivers, cyclists and homeowners who want to top up tires and inflatables without a cord or a trip to a gas station. Against plug-in compressors it gives up continuous air output and tank capacity, but it is far easier to carry and store.

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat it as a handy glovebox inflator for topping up tires and inflatables. They like the set-and-forget pressure shut-off and the small size. Some find it slow on larger tires and note that the battery is an extra purchase.

    What people mention
    • SpeedMixedFine for topping up, but owners say it takes a while to fill a fully flat tire.
    • BatteryMixedWorks with the Craftsman 20V line, but the battery and charger are not included.
    • PortabilityPraisedOwners like the light, compact body that fits in a trunk or toolbox.
    • Auto shut-offPraisedThe set-pressure cutoff is called accurate and convenient.
    • RuntimeCriticisedLong inflation jobs drain a charge quickly.

    Questions and answers

    Does the CMCE520B come with a battery?
    No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Craftsman 20V Max battery and charger, or an existing set from the same line.
    Can it inflate a car tire from flat?
    Yes, but slowly. It is best for topping up tires that have lost some pressure rather than filling a completely flat one.
    Does it stop automatically at the set pressure?
    Yes. You set the target pressure and the inflator shuts off when it is reached.
    What can it inflate besides tires?
    Bikes, sports balls, pool toys and air mattresses, using the included nozzles and chuck.
    How does it compare with a plug-in compressor?
    It is far more portable and needs no outlet, but a tank compressor delivers more air volume for big tires and long jobs.
    Is it compatible with other Craftsman 20V tools?
    Yes. It shares the 20V Max battery platform with the rest of the Craftsman cordless lineup.
    Where is the Craftsman CMCE520B cheapest?
    At Lowe's, for $99.00, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Craftsman CMCE520B?
    2 stores we checked sell it, including Blain's Farm & Fleet, Lowe's.
